Fly to Amsterdam
Overnight flight to Amsterdam.
The tulip fields of Holland peak for only a few weeks each year, and we time this departure for the height of it. Seven nights aboard the AmaSerena, roundtrip from Amsterdam, through the charming towns of the Dutch and German Rhine. Keukenhof Gardens — the world's largest flower garden — is included, along with windmills, medieval city centers, and the wine regions of the Rhine valley. The ship docks in the center of each town, so you step off onto cobblestones.
